The 1DX has officially arrived in Singapore stores already.My friend just collected his at 1600hrs today from a local dealer…I hope to be able to play with it when i meet up with him..Once again, Singapore is the first country to receive the new models? Similar to the 5D3?I wonder why...

Singapore has for many years been viewed as a good location to buy/sell photo equipment. At least the number of shops selling professional level photo equipment per squaremeter of that island is far higher compared to other places. Prices aren't bad either. I expect Canon uses Singapore to compare initial sales volumes, because they expect sizeable sales volumes there.

I just spoke to someone at Adorama and they told me that "it'll be here by the end of the month and you should have it by the first week in July.

Not sure how that jives with the list, etc. but it's more encouraging than ever before. When I placed the pre-order (last year) I was told "you'll be lucky to see it by September..."

True. I'd be wondering how much of a delivery difference it makes say you ordered in March, April, May, June, etc. How many will Canon produce and how many were ordered? All interesting thoughts. Typically though, B&H stock comes in a day or two earlier than Adorama, not that that makes a difference though.
